NBR: A week at the cabin

jdp

DH's whole family will be there and I am trying to meal plan so we don't have to run into town (40min) every day for groceries.  What are some good ideas that feed a lot of people, already have hot dogs, hamburgers, brats, pulled pork.  Any breakfast, lunch or supper ideas would be great!

For breakfasts, I would buy a ton of eggs and whatever breakfast meats you like along with those simply potatoes (I like the southwest style hash browns).

Just dump a bunch of eggs with whatever omelette style fixings you like (onions, peppers, whatever) and the bag of potatoes along with your sausage or bacon (I use the pre-cooked stuff) and a bunch of cheese. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes and voila - super easy meal! And - very yummy!

We always do taco night and spaghetti when we have a lot of family together. For lunch I would just make sure you have bread, peanut butter, jelly and assorted lunch meats. For breakfast, boxes of cereal. Have a fun time!

I love pancakes or biscuits and gravy for breakfast. You could also get danishes or donuts the first day. Pizza is always a big hit for lunch or dinner.

When we do family vacations at rental homes, each couple takes a night to cook dinner for everyone.

lasagna

ham (this is great for the first night then can use the left overs for sandwiches or breakfast for the rest of the time) 

jambalaya or gumbo

tilapia is inexpensive and easy to bake

For breakfast I love to make this easy egg casserole. I don't butter the bread, but toast it first. You could do 2 pans for the group.

For lunch, we usually just keep a bunch of stuff for sandwiches or people can reheat leftovers.

Lots of bread and lunch meats and cheese with potato or egg salad for a good portable lunch if you need it.

Went we had my last family reunion the biggest problem was everyone kept drinking all the alcohol. We had to go to town everyday for wine and beer, so if DH's family is big drinkers you might want to make sure someone gets enough for the week.
